Not enough space on disc?

[Tater]

Okay I am new here (first post) and new to DVD copying... anyway I have DVD Shrink and Nero 6 Ultra Edition and I am trying to back up my DVDs and I keep getting "not enough space on disc to copy compilation". The item I am copying is only 3.9G when I compress it and the discs are new (Imation and Verbatim). Any idea what I am doing wrong? Please help, thanks.

Post your log from Nero. You find it here - C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroHistory.log

How much free space do you have on your hard disk?

Are you using DVDShrink ver 3.2?

[Tater]

73.5GB on Hard Drive free, using DVD-R 4.7GB Disc (Imation and Verbatim)
Yes DVD Shrink 3.2

Any help would be grateful, I am very frustrated... thanks.

Should state something like 4482MB.

Try to update your firmware: Your installed version is A113 - latest is A128. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=304

Could also give Nero an update - www.nero.com

Looks like the media may have been previously partially written to (Perhaps an earlier failed burn attempt)...

[Tater]

Setarip, I checked the media (thought the same thing) and it was not burned too... also it never got that far in the process... all it did was read the disc and say it did not have enough space, burning was not executed. Thanks for the possible solution though.

Cynthia, I will do some updating and try again then post my results, thanks for the help I still may need more... hopefully not.
